TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; I

Be it known that I, HENRYB. ABBoLt'T, of Felicity, 'Clerniont county,Ohio, have invented acertain new and nseful Hill-Side Plough; and dohereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof,

Figure I is a side elevation, showing the plough in condition foraleft-hand furrow, a portion of ,the mouldvboard being removed. v

Figure 2 shows the same for fight-hand plodghin g'. Figure3 is atransverse section; at the line X X; fig. '2. I V The stockcrwoodenportion, may have the customary construction, except that the beam A issomewhat 'long'enf Thetail post B, and a bracket, (L whioh dependrigidly from the beam, carryia horizontal bolt or 1 pivo't,'D, aboutwhichvibrates a. double bar-sharefE E5, virhoseflmould-boards unite attheir upper edges so as to form a continuous plate, F, and whose shethsare composed of ii'single curved bar, G, and svhoseland-side bars, H H,are connected bye bar, I, which, as tell-as the-sheth aforesaid, isperforated to receive the said pivot; J' is a holt, '\yhich beinginserted-in staples, K, oneither sidef-ofthe beam, holds'theupper, and,for the time being, idle land-side bar firmly against the bracket 0, onthe right or left side fas may be desired; I

In'operation, w'he n the end of a furrow is. reached, the bolt iswithdr'arvn, and the. action .of directing the plough again into theland, of itself reverses the plough, which being then seclfmed byinserting the bolt in thestap'leson the other side of the beam, theplough is thenstarted on its 'returntrip.

I claim herein as'new, and of my invention-,- I I r The combination,with the two bar-shares E E, conneoting-she'th G, and double mould-boardF, of the connecting-bar I,.b rac et 0, and locking-bolt J, the latterbeing shifted from oneset'of staples to anothsnon" the oppositesides ofthe plough-beam, as and for thepnrpose explained- I L In testimony oiwhich invention, Lhereunto set my hand. I

This invention belongs 'to the class ofploug hs adapted-to formalternately right and left-.hand-furro'w.
